Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin Operation And Maintenance Of Steam Boiler

1.3    OBJECTIVES OF A STEAM BOILER
(1)    To examine the design of boiler and connected steam pipeline          manufacture in other countries                          
(2)    To examine the design of boiler and to approve the pressure parts modification proposal, in order to improve the efficiency and  steam generating capacity of boiler
(3)    To approve the design, drawing of small industries boiler and to inspect them during manufacturing
(4)    To inspect the boiler pressure parts subject for repair and replacement during manufacturing
(5)    To verify and approve the design and flexibility analysis of high pressure steam line piping
(6)    To conduct periodical testing of welding electrodes.
(7)    To conduct welders examination for initial and requalification
(8)    To conduct examination in order to issue certification of competency as a first class boiler attendants.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The methodology for the implementing measures of energy using product been define by the commission established in 2004/05 in a well define (MEEUP). Within this methodology a common frame work to gather information  as a basic for the evaluation of product is set, this frame work enable an evaluation the performance of product covering the relevant the performance of product covering the relevant criteria of eligibility for implementing measure under the directive with the extension of the scope of the ecodesign directive on energy related product the methodology to energy related product {MEERP}.it now covers also the specific aspects of energy consumption but influence the energy consumption of other product (e.g. windows heating controls).

1.5 JUSLIFITICATION OF THE STUDY
During the process of dyeing and drying in textile industry, steam plays an significant role the industrial boilers is used combined with rising finishing scenter dyeing machine, drying room and mixing mill. The temperature range is 602 1800 c justification of stand by steam boiler is available for textile industry which achieves high working temperature {3300c} under low working pressure (<10 bar). Except hot oil boiler, oil gas fired steam boiler and biomass water tube steam boiler is also suitable for textile factories. Bhattachrya Etal (2009)
